> What Elsevier does should be illegal. So you lobby for an abolishment of the copyright laws - interesting idea... Indeed: It is quite impossible to claim that "what Elsevier does should be illegal" and not standing up for an abolishment of the existing copyright laws. On the other hand: The copyleft free software licenses currently only work because of the copyright laws. Keep that in mind... As you can see, your simple statement has deep consequences. I personally rather think, what many academics do, should be illegal. Here the consequences are far less radical... |

EDIT: to agree and amplify your comment:
In this case the copyright is dubious in the first place. Authors who work with public money should not have exclusive copyrights of the work they produce within this arrangement.
